Ya know Steve - I have too much crap on my plate today to sort through all this. But you are taking this too far too. I can honestly see how this blew up in the first place. That happens with the Internet. Sometimes what people type doesn't come out the way one means and sometimes what one reads is not exactly what was typed out in the first place.
I gave you the benefit of the doubt after the blow up when you first came here. No one questions the quality of your work but I do question some of your practices. I know that you were pushing stuff when you told me you weren't - I've seen the e-mail and PMs. So please don't take me for a fool here. So while I like your stuff and think you make a great product, I'm not convinced you are on the up & up here and that you've been honset with me.
Monique, I DO appreciate how you have come here, participated, made friends, and generally have become part of our community. I respect your work and your situation. I also understand that this is a tough call. I, for one, would like you stay.
But while we're on this thread.
The OFFICIAL Policy of selling stuff through this site is that one MUST be a sponsor - and sponsors help keep the lights on. Becoming a sponsor here is not easy. Lot's of people ask and not many become sponsors. In order to become a sponsor, someone must have a product or service I've used and would recommend to people or one of a handfull of other people have used and would whole heartedly recommend. I've been 95% consistant on this policy as I think it provides the best stuff to members here and the sponsors we have get the best kind of buyers for their product - real anglers.
The unofficial addendum to this is that there are some people here that build rods and plugs that FREQUENTLY PARTICPATE in the forums, help others out, offer suggestions, PARTICIPATE on this site, are allowed to sell some stuff. They don't broadcast that they are selling, they don't have a banner or a website, but they do sell some stuff to people. But they PARTICIPATE. They also donate stuff to the raffles, donate prizes to the kid's tourney (donate some to me
) but above all, they PARTICIPATE in this community.
OK - now that I'm behins schedule I gotta cut the grass to have ANY HOPE of wetting a line today.
